   Despite service being a bit slow, my night at Machine was one of the best dining experiences I’ve had since being in Chicago!!! The atmosphere was laid back yet elegant, the staff was kind and accommodating, and the food was excellent. We designed a custom bouquet with the in-house florist and she was an absolute gem - made our night with how friendly and informative she was!! I couldn’t recommend this place more

   No idea where to start - we were so lucky to have perfect weather on a beautiful night with a great table outside - our server was attentive and fun, our food (duck gnocchi, salmon salad and a basic kids cheeseburger) was all outstanding. We said 100 times how lucky we felt to have found this perfect restaurant - we could have sat and people watched and sipped and snacked all night if some other lucky folks weren't waiting for their turn. Try it!

   More menu variety would be nice. All the items we did order were great. Cocktails were good. Was not wowed by the shared ones. I thought I would get the wow factor by the photos I saw. Service was lovely.

    The classiest restaurant I have ever been to in my life (and I am a native New Yorker). Would move to Chicago just for access to this restaurant! The service was unparalleled. The food was superb (I ate the short rib). I also ordered two cocktails - Beautiful Little Fool and Caged Old Fashioned. OMG! The presentation, the craftsmanship, the quality - all phenomenal. Super impressive all around! The decor of this restaurant makes it the prettiest these 36 year old eyes have EVER seen. I am flying back next month just to sample their menu again and try their cocktail “Devil’s in the Details!”

    Every single thing about my evening there was great. No complaints. It was my birthday. And as a celebrity, I like a lowkey celebration and not too much attention. And that’s exactly what it was. Creative cocktails. Delicious dinner. Great service. Pure delight.

    I had a reservation for my husband’s birthday at 10pm showed up at 9:58. I was very quickly seated but was placed in the middle of the pathway of the room right in front of the bar and people were constantly bumping into us and I had to basically yell so my husband could hear me. No one greeted or Acknowledged us after we were seated until 10:20pm. Drinks and desert were absolutely delicious and definitely worth the price. They made up for the poor service a bit but I definitely don’t recommend coming here on special occasions or for dinner.

    Very nice ambiance and amazing tasty food. Everything was served and presented as an experience and not just “food”. Really made a regular dinner into something over the top. And loved that the mocktails were equally “machine engineered” as the regular cocktails. Only annoying part was the selling of the flowers . But it was still nice to see

    Machine: Engineered Dining and DrinkResponded on August 7, 2022Thank you for your feedback here FridayNightFoodie! We're thrilled you had a great evening and would love to hear a little bit more about your flower experience, as we are the only restaurant with a connected flower shop that we know of we are always looking to hear about ways we can improve.

    The food was tasty, but the meal was fairly expensive. The service was really where things fell apart. While everyone was friendly, it did seem that our waiter entirely forgot about us for extended periods of the evening. That may have been fine on it’s own, but then there was a mix up with an order and there was no effort to accommodate though the mistake lay with the restaurant. On top of it they wouldn’t split checks more than three ways. Certainly not a dining experience I would recommend to larger groups

    Machine: Engineered Dining and DrinkResponded on August 7, 2022Hello Savitha, I want to apologize if you felt forgotten about during your visit and wanted to find out more information about the mix up with the order. I know I had talked with your table a few times last night while you were here and would have loved to accommodate any changes that needed to be made if there was a mistake on our end. Please feel free to reach out to me directly at daniel@machinehospitality.co m to share more details about your visit.

    Our server was not at all acknowledging to our table. She stopped in to take our food order and our drink order; once the food arrived she checked in once more until we were done. When we ordered drinks, we also ordered sparkling water. Which never arrived. We received tap water instead, and one of the glasses still had lip stick stain from previous consumer. When we ordered a bottle of bubbles, our wine glasses were brought out straight from the glass/dish washer… they were soaked. They didn’t even try to polish the glasses. My guest asked for their cocktail ON THE ROCKS two separate times and they arrived in coups. We asked our server for extra condiments; which we never received It was not as busy for our server or our service to be that forgetful or missed. We did not have the experience we hoped we did. Will not be coming back.

    I wish I could give Engineered 10 stars. It was the perfect experience from the host station to departure. Everyone was welcoming and engaging. The bday celebration menu and card was a nice touch. Rashad was so personable, knowledgeable and had the best smile. The smoked carrots and chicken tacos were magic. Everyone loved their food.

    Great food, drinks and service. Needs a fuller bar service with more options. Craft cocktails are great but need to be able to appeal to all drink preferences. The place is great for a date or special celebration, but it is a little pricey. All and All I will return and try more of the food items.

    Our waiter was rude and gave us attitude the entire night. We were a large group so 20% gratuity was automatically applied, I think this is why he didn't bother check up on us or try to be friendly because he knew he didn't need to, to get his tip for the night. Cocktails were good but because the service was horrible we wanted to leave asap. Will not be returning.

    Wagyu was really rubbery this time, we ordered two. Med-rare and well done both were like hockey pucks. It was missing flavor this time, had to ask for salt. Everything else on the plate was delicious.

    Food was delicious. The interior design was really cool! Each room had it’s own vibe, equally as nice. Our waiter was great and even though we didn’t partake, the florist was very kind and friendly. Price was a little high (for drinks and food portions) but not unreasonable. Only real complaint is how unfriendly the hostesses were. They both were not welcoming and made us feel like it was a bother to ask them anything. It’s a shame because that’s the first people you interact with as you walk in Machine. Overall, we had a pretty good birthday dinner date!

    Service was poor, starting with kind of rude hostess and constantly disappearing waiter. Food on the table, but still no silver or plates. Food was very basic, delivered cold. Had much higher expectations, not returning back.
